Popol Vuh

AbstractThe digitization and online dissemination of the Popol Vuh, a historical indigenous knowledge work, poses distinct ethical, legal, intellectual, and technological concerns for humanities researchers and information practitioners seeking to study and digitally curate works through a decolonized consciousness. Ongoing debates on data sovereignty, the repatriation of cultural artifacts, and cultural appropriation question the ability of researchers and information practitioners to effectively steward indigenous knowledge works in a digital environment. While consensus on best practices for the postcolonial digital library or archive remain to be established, information inequity continues to persist, effacing indigenous knowledge, languages, and content from the knowledge society. The following case study will discuss the results of a 10-year multi-institutional initiative to curate, repatriate, and steward the reproduction of an indigenous knowledge work online. From the vantage point of the library, the case study will explore the project’s successes, failures, and the work left to be done.

Design Criteria

The challenges encountered in building the InternationalChildren’s Digital Library (ICDL), a freely availableonline library of children’s literature are described. Thesechallenges include selecting and processing books fromdifferent countries, handling and presenting multiplelanguages simultaneously, and addressing cultural differences. Unlike other digital libraries that present content from one or a few languages and cultures, and focuson either adult or child audiences, ICDL must serve amultilingual, multicultural, multigenerational audience.The research is presented as a case study for addressingthese design criteria; current solutions and plans forfuture work are described.

Different Sources

One of the main problems in scientific repositories is to identify relationships and link metadata from different sources. This paper briefly describes the new results in an effort to build a software platform able to process metadata from different heterogeneous sources. The case study for this phase is the linking of the thesis and dissertation repositories network, the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), and the Lattes Platform of researchers' curricula. A strategy for generating hashes for records is applied, through transformation rules on title and year, capturing, in one step, the Lattes identifiers of theses and dissertations authors and supervisors.

Introduction. The objective of this research was to know the digital library based on the perspective of Lucy A. Tedd and Andrew Large in the Library of the Faculty of Engineering UGM Yogyakarta.Data Collection Methods. This research used qualitative method with a type of case study research. Data collection techniques used are observation, interview, and documentation.Data Analysis. The theory used is the perspective of Lucy A. Tedd and Andrew Large. Data analysis in this research used the theory from Milles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display and Conclusion Drawing / Verification.Results dan Discussion. First, the UGM Yogyakarta Faculty of Engineering Library fulfills the information process both from the ability to create, search, and use information, secondly, the fulfillment of the Yogyakarta UGM Faculty of Engineering Library collection which consists of data and metadata that are interconnected both internally and externally, and which third, the fulfillment of integration or relationship between the UGM Yogyakarta Faculty of Engineering Library with other institutions or organizations, namely with the UGM Central Library and with other Faculty Libraries within UGM, but not for libraries / museums / archives / schools / other units outside UGM environment. In this research it is recommended to be able to do a network of cooperation with various institutions or other organizations outside the UGM, it aims to meet the information needs of users in accessing information, where such information is widely available, complete and diverse. In addition it can also improve the quality of provision of library services to library users.Conclusion. The result of this research are the Library of the Faculty of Engineering UGM Yogyakarta is a digital library, this is evidenced by the fulfillment of the three characteristics of digital library based on the perspective of Lucy A. Tedd and Andrew Large

The growth of Information and communication technology (ICT) has facilitated into achieving this. In this paper, a study of three open-source digital library management software has been presented which collects and disseminates information for library-users. This analysis involves the study and comparison of related software documents and respective technical manuals.

Abstract We present a preliminary study to introduce narratives as a first-class functionality in digital libraries. The general idea is to enrich those libraries with semantic networks of events providing a meaningful contextualisation of the digital libraries’ objects. More specific motivations are presented through a set of use cases by different actors who would benefit from using narratives for different purposes. Then, we consider a specific digital library, Europeana, the largest European digital library in the cultural heritage domain. We discuss how the Europeana Data Model could be extended for representing narratives, and we introduce an ontology for narratives. We also present a semi-automatic tool, which, on the basis of the ontology, supports the creation and visualisation of narratives, and we show how the tool has been employed to create a narrative of the life of the painter Gustav Klimt as a case study. In particular, we focus our attention on the functionality of the tool that allows extracting and proposing to the user specific digital objects for each event of the narrative.
